Here's the new plate cavity uunder construction

I'll have some finished pics in a day or two. Same configuration as the experimental S-cell, 1/2 the plate spacing, neutral plates 2"x6.5", electrodes 2"x7.5".

When gluing it together I smeared a thin layer of goop on the open sides of the positive electrodes to insulate it from leakage around the outside of the cell. Yesterday I had it in tap water for plate preconditioning. Cranked up the DC to get about 100mA and let it sit for a while. When I pulled the cell from the tank I found spots on the coated plates that evidentally were not thick enough, burned through and had begun bubbling under the goop, eating it away from the plates. So, last night I cut two more acrylic strips to cap off the ends of the cell and glued it up. But I'm still concerned about the goop I put in the grooves for the edges of the plates. Is that going to get eaten alive also? Is there an easy way to insulate sections of a plate that won't get eaten alive?

[yikes]

Hey guys the duct tape worked and held together, kept the water between the cells and did not allow leakage.  It of course is not a permanent solution, just where you want to try something without ruining your plates or taking 24 hours to cure.  I had mine running in a see through container with the top edges of the plates above water level.  I had no bubbles go in the water, which means they were all going out of solution.  Yea.

this one shows the first wrap on the edges of the plates.  The next wraps go around horizontally to seal the end plates and hold the first wrap tightly to the edges.
